Directed by Rohit Shetty


He is one director, whose films dont appear appealing to me from trailers, but more often I end up liking them (Golmaal3 was an exception). Bol Bachchan also gets added with that exception now. 

I liked the way Rohit Shetty uses, old Golmaal (Amol Palekar one) in narrative. That was good thought. But, the reason this film fails for me, is the humour isn't good. The jokes fall flat, and most of the times its a forced comedy. 

For instance, the loud character of Ravi (Krishna Abhishek) is highly irritating. Since there is nothing new in the story, it was important to have a screenplay that keeps you entertained with good humurous dialogues. But such scenes are very less in the film. The climax is completely over the top, and so is the role of Archana Puran Singh that is completely made to look like Comedy Circus.

Songs are more or less irritating, except for one song, where the non-moustache character of Abhishek goes to Ajay's house to teach his sister dance. That song which ends with Ajay dancing too along with Prachi, was good one.

Abhishek Bachchan was decent, he does hams a bit in the 'without moustache' character. Though, his dance test scene was very good. Ajay Devgan's comic timing is once again too good, infact he's the reason you get some laughs out of the film. The way he says the hindi lines in english, or the scene where he says 'Sunooooo..' were hillarious.

Asin looks completely out of the character to me, for me the part where she plays the lover of Ajay in past i.e that irritating Himesh song.. thats where she looks best. Prachi Desai looks cute, but hardly has got much to do in her role. Archana Puran Singh and Krishna Ahishek just hams.

Neeraj Vora and Asrani in supporting roles do good work. While Amitabh Bachchan shouldn't had done the item number, poor choreography as well as the song.


Overall, Bol Bacchan doesn't work for me at all. Ajay Devgan provides some entertainment, but the script and dialogues are a total let down.


Verdict : BELOW AVERAGE
